Ok then. Im sure once a few more peeps get their hands on this amazing phone, we will be talking bout it.

I did. No issues at all. Just WiFi Tether which i dont think is related to root method. Other root apps work fine.

So i guess we root, but don't care about tether? Seriously? We're rooting for bloat and ads only?

WiFi tether works fine. Change the device profile to generic ics, then turn on mms clamping and routing fix.

So I'm all excited I was able to root my LG Optimus G (Sprint edition). Had similar problems as others with the WiFi tethering until I made the helpful suggestions made previously (thank you Barshalen). The strange thing here is whenever I try to connect my laptop to the phone's WiFi hotspot, within seconds my laptop presents the good ol' BSOD. Never had anything like this happen before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

After I disable wifi tether, the phoens wifi won't re-enable, I have to reboot the phone for wifi to start working again. Has anyone had this issue or know if there is a fix for it?

I've got the at&t version and I'm seeing this as well. I can get a working hotspot with the SGSIII, generic and generic ICS/JB profiles, but with each one my wifi is horked after I stop wifi-tether. I can't use wifi as a client, and a second run of wifi-tether fails. A reboot clears the problem and I can both use wifi and wifi-tether again.
I'm hoping that there is either an update to wifi-tether or some profile that fixes this...

Wifi tether not working after disable
I am seeing the same issues. Has anyone been successful with any other wifi tethering apps?

Wifi Tether not working.
3.3-beta2-06102013***Synergized***
The Wifi app will start with SU permissions. I have the settings set to the before mentioned advisement, however the wifi will not work i.e. it is not visible at all to any computer. When I am near another wireless network the wifi tether app will abruptly stop and give me an error that says "WTH your phone takes back over the wifi-interface" then the app shuts down.
Can anyone help with this issue, is there a resolution for the problem?
Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
I may be experiencing 2 seperate problems, meaning 1. the network is not seen and 2. the app stops from the wifi-interface taking control.

i do have the unlimited data unlimited everything plan... also is there a guide or vid tuturial if at worst case scenerio to change my pc/browser to make it look to be coming from my mobile?

if you use chrome, like i do, there are a few extensions out there that would change the browser to an android view by using an android as the UserAgent tag.

I had my user agent changed in chrome and was using the agent for android 4.1 with the desktop web page request. That was fine until a week ago and then I started getting redirects from tmobile. Now I can only use regular android 4.1 which only gives you the mobile pages. This is a real drag on a laptop.

are these settings working for everyone? I used wifi tether 3.3 pre 2 version. My friend and I both have the note 2 but I used ics/jb wlan0 setting and wifi driver reload 1 settings. mine tethers fine. had it working with my sons new nabi 2 tablet last night. My friend however couldn't get it to work until he switched profile to galaxy s3 like below but that didn't work for me when I selected that profile.

It works for me but I still get the T-mobile upsell webpage. This is the only con to owning the T-mobile note 2 in my opinion. Almost switched to Sprint because this app works for their note 2 but I cant stand how slow their data is.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

another workarounds for the upsell page:
1.use ubuntu on desktop(this is my method)
2.use vpn on windows (most of them are paid)
3.user agent change on windows
now if you want to watch netflix on tmobile unlimited internet from a desktop that is only possible with us vpn.

Sure it does... Method that works best for me is to use VPN, along with TrevE's moded wifi tether.
I use 'hotspot shield vpn' from the market.

What did you mean by (Check Wifi Driver Reload 2) or was the (2) a typo?
And wasn't Routing fix steady checked? Cause it was for me. I'm using the jellybeer Tom and can't get it working
EDIT: I didn't relize I had version from 11/18
So I dl 11/22 version and (Check wifi driver reload 2) didn't work for me so I unchecked it, then checked the one above
Then worked perfect!

Winning!

This works with openvpn too
I connect to my openvpn connection then start the wifi tether with this mod. It works great and they can't snoop into my packets. Tethering to desktop pc, android tablet, iphone, everything else. It works great. No message or upsell page ever.

Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

This worked for me but with some issues. When I start wifi tether the first time, everything works fine. But after I turn it off and then turn it on, tethering works, but I get the message that it started with errrors. On the show logs this is what I get "Loading wifi driver failed" and then after I turn it off, I cant activate wifi on the phone without reboot.

known issue. One wifi tether per reboot.

Oh, didnt know that. I was on ICS and just upgraded to JB yesterday. On ICS, it used to work perfectly for me. I guess this issue is mostly in JB.

WORKING WiFi Tether??

Is there actually a Wi-Fi tether app that works for our phone? I've tried Wi-Fi tether from the market, and other devices will connect to my SSID and "tether", but it will basically be a worthless connection because I won't be able to surf at all from the tethered connection.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 10 tablet since I get great LTE signal here in Dallas where I live, but I can't make full use of it since no tether app works properly with our phone...any help is appreciated!!

Settle down tiger. Try a reboot. See if it works. Its been working for a few of us since zvb dropped. You might have to use Trevor's WiFi tether. And i did read your post. That's why I'm answering.

Here's the settings I used to make Wifi tether from the Playstore to work. Remeber either WIFI or the Wifi tether per reboot.
1.Change device profile to - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
2.Setup method - Auto
3.Enable wifi-encryption
4. I changed SSID and my Passphrase
That's it. It's worked for stock JB and Imperium. Haven't tried it on Lifeless yet.

mine is on the Generic ICS/JB on wifi tether my SSID will show up but wont connect at all.

Is whatever you're trying to tether set to auto? Also, Wi-Fi cannot turn on at all after a reboot if you're on zvb. Try it on other things also to see if its the app, or whatever you're trying to tether.
Edit. Try going to settings, enable access control.

When I had this problem (at&t model but probably the same issue), I had to select a different lan in the wifi tether settings. Either the arp cache on the tethered device still had old entries (since the default network is the same as my wireless network that my device had just been connected to), or it's just that wifi tether applies the wrong netmask. Right now I'm using the setting "10.10.3.0/24" which works, but in reality it's assigning a 255.0.0.0 (/8) netmask to the interface!
